Chapter 1003 Everything depends on yourself!
The island of Ceylon is Sri Lanka for later generations.

Lin Zhen, the son-in-law who is currently the chief executive of Ceylon, looked at the reservoir construction site in front of him, and said to Wang Cheng, the prefect of Baojun, with emotion: "The policy changes in the court are faster than turning the pages of the book. When I took office , this Xilanwu is still the center of gravity of the imperial court's management in the land of Tianzhu. Once upon a time, everything changed!
The imperial court's first development focus here has become North Tianzhu, and the second focus is South Tianzhu. We in Ceylon can only be regarded as the third echelon. It's really... so embarrassing. "

Lin Zhen was very unhappy, and the court was too quick to like the new and dislike the old.When he came here five years ago to take up his post, Ceylon was still a pearl in Lu Qi Yu Tianzhu area, and Baojun was the most dazzling brilliance on this pearl of Ceylon.The administrative office of Ceylon was established in Baogang, the state capital of Baojun, which is later Colombo.But now, things are different and people are different, and the importance of Ceylon as a whole is not as important as a little finger in North Tianzhu.

Apart from bitterness, Wang Cheng's face was bitter.He was the first batch of officials to arrive in Ceylon. From a county magistrate to the current chief executive of Ceylon, he has made great efforts and witnessed this area from "brilliance" to "decline".How could it be a taste in his heart?
In the past three years, the imperial court's eyes in Tianzhu have involved Ceylon again, and this is a forgotten corner.Although very helpless, but can't tell nonsense with long eyes, compared with Tianzhu, Ceylon is indeed not worth mentioning.

Fortunately, Baogang, a port city founded 400 years ago in the hands of Tianfang people, can still maintain its prosperity by virtue of its good geographical advantages. It is still a very important port in South Tianzhu.

Therefore, although the economic development of the entire Baojun has entered a stage of slow development, it has still made some progress.Unlike the Ceylon Governor's Mansion, whose economic indicators have been stagnant for two consecutive years, how could Lin Zhen have "fighted to the death" and raised a large amount of money at his own expense to invest in a city two kilometers away from Baogang Port? A big development with Baili's Gem Valley as the core?

In Lu Qian's previous life, Sri Lanka's "Gem Valley" was well-known.

The Karoo River Valley in the central mountainous area, after 30 to 1.5 billion years of long-term weathering, has been eroded into gravel, and after rainwater and natural gravity carried by rivers, it has been enriched to form a gem-bearing gravel layer.Moreover, there are many varieties, wide distribution, shallow burial, and easy mining.For example, Gem Valley is located in the south-central part of Ceylon. The small town is surrounded by mountains, and it looks like a cornucopia from the topography.There are intricate underground tunnels here, and round dustpans of excavators turn clockwise and counterclockwise in the large pool, and gradually a pile of loess dissolves into the water, sand and stones are sifted away, and the remaining Smaller stones with a higher density contain varying amounts of rough gemstones.Most of the gem placer resources in Sri Lanka are distributed within [-] square kilometers from the center to the south.

Of course, this does not mean that most of Ceylon's gem resources are here.Ceylon is a true gem island, gems can be found everywhere in the rice fields and on the hillsides.It is said that 200% of the land in Ceylon contains all kinds of precious and semi-precious stones, which account for half of the 1000 kinds of precious and semi-precious stones in the world.In ancient Sanskrit, Ceylon means "Island of Jewels". The gems produced here more than [-] years ago have been famous in Tianzhu.

It's just that the resources of Gem Valley are more concentrated!
However, after capturing Ceylon, the Lu Qi Dynasty focused its development on metallurgy, agriculture, logging, shipbuilding and other handicraft industries. Lu Qian defined Ceylon as the bridgehead for the army to attack Tianzhu and the frontline base of the Lu Qi army. +Military points.

War was the biggest driving force behind Ceylon's early rapid development.Local gem mining is completely on the back burner.Until now, the helpless son-in-law has no choice but to take "devious ways" to try to promote the good development of Ceylon's economic volume.

For this reason, he made people put up the Ceylon Development Fund at the Guangzhou Jockey Club, with a total amount of 200 million, and he himself ate half of it!
Lin Zhen had plenty of money, but the Lin family didn't mention it, they only talked about his daughter-in-law, the eldest princess of the current emperor, and they never regarded money as money.

Of course, not all of the 200 million investment funds were used to recruit laborers to dig mines in Gemstone Valley, and some of them were used to build reservoirs and save water.

The Ceylon Development Fund is not equal to the Ceylon Gem Fund, is it?The entire fund should be 'distributed' throughout Ceylon!

And the reservoir is the top priority.After all, in today's era, hydraulic power is like the engine of later generations, and the further development of many workshops is inseparable from hydraulic power.A reservoir with a huge demand for water is a never-drying energy reservoir.Especially in Ceylon, which is like summer all year round and has a warm and rainy climate.

What's more, it is necessary to recruit local masters who polish and cut gemstones, establish corresponding training schools, and specialized appraisal institutions, as well as the future gemstone trading market, all of which are in Baogang.

Today is one of them - the opening day of Baonan Reservoir.

Otherwise, Lin Zhen's words would not be emotional to Wang Cheng.Their backgrounds are too far apart.Although Wang Cheng is already the prefect of a county, it doesn't mean that the gap between him and Lin Zhen is only one level!
Wang Cheng was just an ordinary person from ordinary background. He started as a small official in the Xuanzheng Department, and he can get to where he is today because he relies more on his own struggle.

What about Lin Zhen?That was Zheng Guogong's legitimate son of Dudu Lin, the only son of the Lin family, who had a gold spoon in his mouth since he was born.When she became an adult, she even married the current emperor's precious eldest princess. She is just a good-for-nothing dude who can even visit Jinling City.

But Wang Cheng went to Jinling with full armor, and he would still be easily shot to death.

The economy of Ceylon is just a stagnation, even if it goes back ten years, it still can't shake Lin Zhen's footsteps.But it can easily annihilate Wang Cheng's future career.

The reason why Lin Zhen worked so hard and racked his brains was that he had no intention of showing his ability, but it must also be due to embarrassment.

This is inherently different from Wang Cheng's starting point!

Wang Cheng looked at the reservoir in front of him. The reservoir, which cost 10 yuan to build, is mainly to provide power for some factories and workshops that will be built in Baogang in the future. The largest enterprise is Baogang Cement Factory, which is used for crushing nearby Limestone is abundant in abundance.This is the only cement factory in Ceylon.The side effect is flood storage and flood prevention.

From the day he became the prefect of Shangbao County, he planned to build a reservoir in Baonan.Ceylon is like summer all year round, with no ice and snow, and abundant rainfall. A reservoir is an inexhaustible source of power.However, Baojun has no money financially.

An investment of 10 yuan is not a big deal for many states and counties in the Central Plains, but for Ceylon and Baojun, it is really a big project.I believe that if Wang Cheng did not do a solid job, and because Baogang belongs to the capital of Ceylon, and the site is under the eyes of the general manager's office, Lin Zhen's great hopes are placed on him, and he may not be able to get this investment!

But also because of this incident, Wang Cheng understood that Lin Zhen's thinking was really different from his.

At the same time, with Lin Zhen's roots, he couldn't even get the financial support from the cabinet. Wang Cheng also understood the status of Ceylon.

"Everything depends on yourself!"

The imperial court would rather throw a lot of silver on the battle, fight against Tianfang before Tianzhu is evened, and fight Ross before Tianfang is evened, rather than pluck a hair and throw it on Ceylon, so what can they do except rely on themselves?
Wang Cheng thought of the column on the "News" that he had delivered half a month ago, and in his heart, he felt that life was not a good feeling.
